Gemma explained to Loose Women panellists Ruth Langsford, Linda Robson, Janet Street-Porter and Gloria Hunniford how she was coping with her fertility struggles.

She explained: “I was really upset when they said I couldn’t freeze my eggs. I would probably need to have an egg donor. But my best friend offered to give me an egg and that made me feel a bit more settled.”

However, when Gemma was told her egg count for too low and would mean she would find it hard to conceive, she was understandably devastated.

She admitted: “I was just coming to get my eggs frozen and I’d been told I’m going to need an egg donor. I was here planning an egg freezing party, it was all very positive.

“I literally got the news on the camera. It was real. The show has been going for a long time that it’s only fair that I share that with my fans. But it just shows no amount of money or flashy lifestyle can give me a baby.”

Gemma revealed she did start to blame herself as she quipped: “I did have a miscarriage, have I taken the morning after pill too many times.

“Obviously I do need to get my weight down a bit, we know that and we know I’ve struggled with that. There is a 1 in 10 chance I would fall pregnant naturally, which is really really low.”

Gemma also stated: “I really hope and pray every night that I will meet this person and fall in love. I still hope but if I don’t meet that man then I will go on to have that baby on my own. I can give a child a lot of love and a good life.”
